Do the sanitary pass be generalized to employees in all companies? This is the menu of the discussions, Monday, December 20, between the Minister of Labor, Elisabeth Borne, the unions and the employers, while France is plunged into a fifth epidemic wave due to CVIV-19. The discussions begin while the Government hopes an adoption of the law transforming the vaccineal passenger pass by the Parliament by the end of January for an entry into force “in the stride”, said Sunday the spokesman of the Government, Gabriel Attal.
The question of the passage in the companies is thus not yet decided. “The representatives of the employers and the employees and the unions will be able to report their proposals, of their doubts, their criticisms with the government since tomorrow there are consultations” with M me terminal, a thus explained Mr. Attal. “There is then a hypothesis, a possibility, extension of the pass to other places of work but it is not today in our work scenario,” he said by recalling the “discussion parliamentarian “to come.
But this idea of a plan extended to all companies raises high reluctance among the social partners. The Secretary General of the CGT, Philippe Martinez, thus lasted Monday morning an “absurd and totally ineffective” measure. “We are opposed to it because it corresponds to a vaccine obligation. We prefer (…) to reinforce barrier gestures, encourage more to vaccination rather than the introduction of this pass,” he insisted on FranceInfo. “Better to convince and encourage that compel”, also told the France-Presse Michel Beaugas, Force Ouvrière (FO), while Cyril Chabanier (CFTC) said “quite reserved” on this measure.
“It should not be punitive”
On the other hand, the patronat is rather inclined to this generalization. The Confederation of small and medium-sized enterprises is thus “rather favorable to the sanitary pass as far as it avoids confinement, which is the worst of the worst. Afterwards there are practical questions that can be problematic”. For the Union of Proximises, “Priority must be put on the continuity of activity. So if it has to go through a pass, why not. But it should not be punitive,” says the organization employers’ allusion to the penalty of 45,000 euros for non-pass audit currently in effect.
Candidates for the presidential election also begin to position themselves on the subject. Yannick Jadot told in particular opposed to such enlargement. “I hear all business officials say” it’s going to be the galley to put that in place “, so I’m not favorable,” he said Monday morning on BFM-TV and RMC. Another candidate, the ex-PS Arnaud Montebourg has, pleaded for the opening of negotiations. “This question must be asked with the social partners: is it practicable (…)? Do companies have the means to do it?”, Has it requested on LCI , noting that it already exists for a number of professions in contact public.
